Several Ways to ACT! Call today for a personal assessment (866) 710-4ACT
Act! for Web Hosting
Our lowest cost solution, Act! for Web (APFW) is easily accessible via the Internet Explorer web browser. Although it lacks some of the marketing and administrative features of the full desktop product, it is easiest to deploy and access and is a good solution for sales professionals seeking a shared company database. There is nothing loaded on the client computer and near immediate deployment. We can literally have you up within an hour. This is an online-only solution. There is no access to your data if you are not connected to the internet. If your computer is lost or stolen your valuable information is not lost, making this a very secure solution. Most add-on software requires the Act! desktop product and therefore is not functional via Act! for web.
ACT! Premium for Web is a streamlined web based client that comes with the ACT premium product. It is a relatively inexpensive option to deploy and while lacking some of the features that heavy users might require, delivers the ACT experience quite effectively for casual or budget conscious users.

Act! Premium Synchronization -
Benefits of this solution include offline access to your data and use of the full windows desktop program and most of its features*. Most Act! adds-ons work in a synchronization environment. Because Act! must be installed and maintained on each user's workstation, this solution can be more costly to maintain. Users must be trained and responsible for keeping up the sync process as it is client initiated. Access to other user’s data is not in real time and is dependent upon all parties performing synch. Finally, this configuration is susceptible to security risks in there may be data loss due to physical loss of the computer and damage to the data not yet synchronized. Generally speaking, a greater level of trust and responsibility is required of sync enabled users.
Act! Over Citrix
This is our flagship product. Citrix allows you to log in remotely to our server. From your perspective, the programs show up on your system just like any other program. However, the program and data reside on the server. All that passes to you are screen views and keyboard commands. There are no programs to load on your machine, just a small IE Plug-in. Our Citrix platform works on old machines, Windows-based and Macs, including iPads.
With our Citrix based solution, you use the full Windows desktop Act! product with none of the limitations incurred by the Act! for Web platform and none of the administrative and security risks of the Act! Sync model. Act! over Citrix is fast and secure and it’s very easy to deploy. Act! integration is fully functional, but only with Citrix based MS Office. It does not integrate with Microsoft Office on your local machine. If this is a requirement, a combination Citrix-Sync model may be employed.
With our Citrix based solution, we also bundle Microsoft Office and can provide a shared virtual folder in the cloud for your team. Imagine being able to log in to your system from anywhere!

* There are only a couple of things you cannot do remotely via a deployed synchronized database. These include the addition of new fields to your database and some administrative functionality.
